-- can the Senate subpoena Adam Schiff ? --

That's a good question. I see no reason in principle, why not. Presidents must submit to subpoena in civil cases, rules SCOTUS in Clinton v. Jones, so there is no immunity to anybody in government. "Nobody is above the law," to use the trite phrase.

There is no question that members of Congress have been compelled to give testimony in civil and criminal cases, and enforcing Congressional subpoenae is a function of the courts, not the Congress.

Thanks. So it’s not a question of could they but would they...would Graham have the stones to do it ? CVould all this be nipped in the bud if done right ?

I hate to ask this again...(I have no idea about who trolls FR and this is the 3rd time I’m asking and I don’t want to put a thought in someones head)

What is to stop the House from having 30 articles of impeachment (alcee hastings had 17)
but present them to the senate for trial, 1 article at a time ?

It could run out a clock until elections. Then if the RATs take over the Senate...?
